Contemporary Wall Clocks – from Scooby Doo to Sticky Cubism

Article Written By Nena | Category: Contemporary Wall Clocks

When I think of a CLOCK in the traditional sense, the first thing that jumps into my head is a grandfather clock that chimes on the hour, or a cuckoo clock where a little door opens and a birdie appears singing, or an ornate wooden masterpiece that sits on a mantle – so old it may not even have the right time.

But clocks, although ancient as an invention, are anything but ancient by design. Today, there are contemporary wall clocks that not only offer precision time telling but also double as pieces of modern art or funky additions to even the wildest decorators’ imaginings.

Italian designer Arti & Mestieri has some funky, funky clocks that appear to have been painted by Salvador Dali. One of which is the Eclissi Contemporary Wall Cock with oblong frosted mirror and metal clock hands. It is an outrageously trendy piece suitable for even the narrowest space you have to decorate. Another fabulous creation by Arti & Mestieri is the Scooby Doo Wall Clock in Silver. They are all under $100 when purchased online.

And if you are looking for a large or extra large wall clock in a contemporary design check out the Karlsson, Invotis, and Roco Verre designs that come in XL sizes.

For a contemporary wall clock plus I suggest the Karlsson Giant LED Digital Clock, a piece that could double as a display in a modern art gallery. This digital wall clock uses a series of large, neon globes to display the time in blue. It is housed in sleek silver outer case. The display is very bright and due the overall size of this wall clock lends well to open lofts, very large apartments and offices. It is a wall clock to be hung on a wall; however it may also stand alone. If you’re curious, it’s £119.00.

It comes with pattern suggestions and sticky pads all for the low price of £38.95.
